lished an illustration of "The Possibi'
lities of Texas Developments" a cut
showing an oil pipe from the gas
wells of Palestine to Dallas, through
which this city would get ohea9 fuel
light, and manufacturing power. The
idea must have been regarded as too
tar in advance Of the. times, and ap-
parently impractitable; but now
comes the announcement that the
Standard Oil Company purpose to
build pipe line from the oil fields Of
Ohio and Pennsylvania to New York
and Chicago, to avoid the freight
charges increased under the interstate
commerce law, and also to furnish gas
to Chicago New York and other
! cities for light, fuel and manufacture
Ing purposes. If oil is discovered in
lood paying quantity at Palestine,
Corsicana, or any other point within
100 miles cf Dallas, then it will not be
many years before the HERALD's pipe
line will be matter of fact. This is
a progressive age.
